    How old is the child?
    Is child old enough to communicate any feelings and discomfort?
    It can be a sign of a pain, itching, or has gotten to be a habit.

    It sounds like it may be his way of self-soothing. It calms him down and relaxes him for sleep.

    Is he due for a check-up and/or vaccinations? If so, at the appointment talk to the doctor/nurse about your concern. They can make certain there isn't anything wrong.

    I think its just a habit because I have seen few kids doing that while sleeping. I don't know why they do but it looks like its natural and a habitual thing, just like pouting lips, naturally sleeping with bend knees while sleeping, rubbing eyes etc.
